Sorry if the english is bad. im from denmark.
A friend of mine has put some custom rom on my arc. and now i cant download apps from market, and i cant update it to the new gingerbred ?

I dont know anything on how to do it so hope its an easy guide.. ?
Go on android development for the arc and there is loads of threads telling u how to do this

If you're asking for links to a section you see when you come to the Arc forum, then you need a LOT of help, so you'll just have to wait for someone who is extremely patient.
Not to the section but to a post with a guide in it. ?

It will be moved to the Q&A section where it belongs.
Because you failed to read the rules (see links in my sig).
Because everything is already answered and this has absolutely nothing to do with development...
ok after the method that you link what should i do?

Gasan ask in the thread I posted, its specifically there for that purpose.
But be prepared for:
a) You need some rudimentary understanding of computers
b) You need to understand that anything like this has the risk of making your phone unusable (bricked)
c) Read the ENTIRE thread before you expect anyone to help when you ask any questions, I know this is a bit of a pain but we all had to do it once and it will get you more insight into the process and less rage from the people who spend all their time writing and coding this stuff.
Thus endeth the lesson
Good luck mate.

Its not that we don't want to help, firstly this is the development section, you do not post questions here, there is a separate forum for that.
Secondly you need to use the search function, there's a lot of guides and info here to help. You should at least go through them before posting blindly.
Lastly, welcome to the forum, enjoy and respect the rules .
First of all hello everybody
Since this is my first post and im semi noob il try to be as explicit as I can.
I personaly own an lt15i so I have some xp.
A friend of mine gave me his arc in order to root/instal custom rom etc.
-network locked on Orange Romania.
- seems to be not unlockable (bootloader I mean) since I have no Rooting Status section in the service menu.
-2.3.3 Version update dosnt work (via phone or pc companion,it says it has the latest version )
- baseband version 7X30A-AAABQMAZM-1290_21-29
Kernel 2.6.32.9-pref [email protected]#1
Last Section (About compiling smth,its not in english and i forgot its name)
3.0.1.A.0.150
I need to get it to ICS.
What can be done?
The phone is not rooted,its in perfect state and it only has some apps instaled from the market (player etc).Except that its as new as you buy it.
Would rooting resolve the issue?
Would network unlocking?
Any ideas,sugestions or anything else would greatly be apreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Not a very good first post it has to be said. Read the stickys, read them again and once more after that. Then ask any questions still remaining on the relevant threads.

I do not understand this attitude around here,no offence but an answer would of take you less time to write.
I read all the stiky's (except for the themes forum and accesories ) and did not find any helpfull information. Been googling and forum searching the issue for about 4 hours. If you are willing to manualy read 100+ reply's with 1% change of finding helpfull information please be my guest (I used topic search duh)
I might be retarded but : No unlocked bootloader no kernel instal,no kernel instal no ics since its gb kernel. No official update for my phone and I suspect it might be network related.. A simple yes or no answer is hard to get in this days... Anyway thank you for your reply and helpfull information
People get such replies off me when they've clearly showed no initiative. You say you've searched, read the stickys etc but everyone says that despite the fact the fact most of the answers can be found in the stickys.
I've got nothing against People asking questions but when new threads are started on a daily basis asking about things that have been answered or discussed many many times over it gets annoying after a while, and if like you say you've found nothing relating to rooting or unlocking the boot loader that's helpful in 4 hours, then god only knows what you've been searching for.

Ok I might be an idiot.
So basicly the answer is no, maybe this was a retarded topic since SE says
In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

I thought that could be done if somthing on the phone changed,I guess the answer is no but I dont see any logic in this,wouldnt expect anyone to explain anyway.
Let me rephrase my question then,as a noob user as I am.
Why cant I OFFICIALY UPDATE the phone since ICS is actually released for this phone? If I am again that retarded that I did not find an answer on this forum or via google,I swear to god Il get a nokia 1100 and leave this forum for ever.
Just pick a ftf from the sticky in general and flash it with the flashtool, much easier than waiting, and you'd have to ask Sony why they've not yet released it.

Thank you dear sir! As far as I read I tought I needed to change the kernel in order to get ICS which is impossible.
If you had said that in the begining I would not wasted so much time and now I know more. Instead of mini raging with all that blabla like in the video. I did not honestly know anything about those ftf files,Im guessing they also update the kernel. Honestly I would of never had thought of searching for something like this.

I'll not mention that you've said you were "googling and forum searching the issue for about 4 hours". Yes they flash the kernel too, and to unlock the boot loader you can use the S1 Tool, the link to it is in my guide (see sig), which I assume you will surely have read, at least skimmed through it.

So you have managed to unlock the boot loader and flash the ROM and Kernel? Thanks for compliment, it used to be a sticky but I asked for it to be removed as I wasn't updating it much, but try and keep it up to date these days.

No,I currently have 2 Arc's (one of mine which I boot unlocked with jj and arcknight and the one being mentioned in the post) I dont have an usb extension cable and I must ask my friend the owner for permission

thnx alot , actully i made alot of searching before i post this question but i couldnt find any root for GB
thnx again mate
What version of GB are u using? Go to flashtool, connect the device in debugging mode and press the lock. That would root your phone. If u have unlocked bootloader just flash a kernel. It will root it

Yes, it'll help, considering you are the only one that ask fit that...
Anyway, what's wrong with instructions in the OP?

People are just too lazy to look around. Everything is here but it's too much of a hassle to put one sentence in the search bar. And you really think that General section is better than Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting for this thread?
well if im the only one then why i see you whining like a little girl in every thread? if u dont have nothing to answer to my question please SHUT UP
now it will just stay as a spam thread for no reason and yes im lazy because instructions are not clear. do i go directly yo me7 or mb2/4 first. so yeah thanks for the help
Your thread was spam, and in wrong section from the beginning. Read forum rules, read some basic topics and don't tell me to shut up.
P.S. Please consider investing in glasses if you don't see better place to ASK QUESTION
well... i wouldnt but u just keep writing the same in your answer. we learn from mistakes dont we? stop spaming me what i already know....

to install CM, you need to go to JB first because it needs CWM 6.
for the JB version, choose your ace 2‘s region (i have Indonesian Ace 2, so I use Indonesian JB ROM). you can use others region but avoid chinese region because it has different signal and also check if your ace 2 is P or L type because it has different ROMs
do you need to go to mb2/mb4? don‘t know yet because I didn‘t test all JB roms. For my region‘s rom, I can directly go to JB from GB
for the instruction how to upgrade and where are the roms.. please search...

I would've posted links but it's not so simple on app, also if you can't be bothered to search and read on complex topics, which might result in you destroying your expensive phone, maybe you shouldn't be undertaking them.
What's wrong with today's society is people expect everything handed to them on a plate, with little or Jo effort on their part.

+1. I agree. People can't be expected to be spoon fed all the time. Just search it! It's that simple.
What else could we expect from a user (OP) whose nickname seems mispelled?
